Hello Phil,

I had the head removed and the mechanic sent it to a machine shop. They are saying it is unfixable if I read their commentary correctly. Mechanic told me the cam journals are out of alignment and that the cam will drag and take out the journals and could result in breaking the camshaft.

Half of this is gobbleygook to me. Don't really understand what he is describing but I respect his integrity.

What do you think? Is the head a goner or is there still hope. I am willing to spend money on the job because I want to keep the car for many years to come.

Thanks for your fulsome reply, by the way.

Bob
